Surplus Property Auction Services

This contract provides Sedgwick County with a comprehensive surplus‑property auction solution. The awarded vendors will handle all aspects of disposal, including hauling, off‑site storage (minimum 1,000 sq ft indoor), photography, online listing, auction management, buyer interaction, fund collection, and load‑out. The county retains no upfront fees; vendors earn revenue through a buyer’s premium (10‑18 % of final sale prices) and optional services such as moving labor, advertising, and check‑in fees. The three‑year contract (with two one‑year renewal options) is open‑competition, awarded to two firms that together satisfy the county’s need for storage capacity and auction expertise. • Full‑service auction workflow (photography, cataloging, online auction, payment processing). • Vendor‑owned off‑site storage of at least 1,000 sq ft to address county storage constraints. • Revenue model based on buyer’s premium (10‑18 %) plus optional service fees, with no direct cost to the county.
